My name is Donald Barnhart, Jr. and I'm a long-time student of the Civil War and have written a number of articles for Civil War publications and websites. I have a Bachelor's Degree in History from the University of Texas at Austin, a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, and a Master's Degree in Business from Midwestern State University. When I'm not occupied with tax accounting matters, I'm researching for future articles.
Originally from Wichita Falls, Texas, I currently reside in The Colony, a suburban community north of Dallas, with my wife (originally from Burkburnett, Texas), who works at The Colony Public Library. We are the proud parents of a son who is a pharmacist and a daughter who is an occupational therapist.

I'm a laid back kind of guy, so grab a cold one, open a laptop, and we'll chat.
